[3] This raiding was likely the reason for their village's location deep inside Salmon Bay, rather than being directly on Puget Sound.

[4] By 1890, settlers had cleared all the land around the village up to what is now 65th Street in Ballard, forcing the Shilshole to travel farther for food and wood.

[16] He and his wife Cheethluleetsa (also known as Madeline) would harvest clams, salmon, and berries, and sell them in the markets of the growing settlement of Ballard nearby.

[16] They resisted being removed to the reservations until c. 1914, when they were living at the mouth of Salmon Bay on ten acres (4.0 ha) and in a small cabin.

[11] After the death of Madeline c. 1914, he was eventually forced to leave his home for the construction of the locks and removed to the Port Madison Reservation.
